Tony Yoka is back in the ring! The Olympic champion faces Saturday, May 14 from 10:00 p.m. the Congolese Martin Bakole, the favorite sparring partner of star Anthony Joshua. Originally scheduled for January 15, 2022, the fight has been rescheduled for today. The preparation was disturbed by stories of contract where the Frenchman had agreed to fight Filip Hrgovic for a semi-final at the heavyweights (IBF) before changing his mind.
13th in the world, the Congolese intends to inflict on the French his first defeat among professionals: “But I know what I believe in and I will beat him. I respect him. He won a European belt and gold at the Olympics, I respect. But I have already fought for the IBO inter Continental belt (he won the IBO continental belt), I was Top 15 before him. He must respect me. He is great for Paris but not for the rest of the world.” For his part, the 2016 Olympic champion revealed how to beat his opponent: “I’m faster and more technical. I think my explosiveness will make the difference from the moment I start chaining combinations and shots. I know I can put him in difficulty at that moment.”
